Endovascular embolization of dural arteriovenous fistula in a child presented with slight conjunctival hyperemia

Lei Guo et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2019 Dec.

Abstract

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are rare in pediatrics. A case of DAVF diagnosed because of a slight conjunctival hyperemia and endovascular coil embolization at 2 years old is reported.

Case description: The 2-year-old boy presented with a slight conjunctival hyperemia of the left eye for 1 month. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the head showed abnormal blood flow in the left middle cranial fossa. On digital subtraction angiography, a DAVF with a dural feeder shunt and a venous varix at the middle cranial fossa was confirmed. After transarterial coil embolization, shunt blood flow disappeared.

Conclusions: This report describes a case of DAVF with a slight conjunctival hyperemia treated by coil embolization in a child.

Keywords: Child; Coil; Dural, Arteriovenous fistula; Embolization.
